Overview

APPS.AMS_EVENTOFFER_PUB_W is a public PL/SQL package within the Oracle E-Business Suite Advanced Marketing (AMS) module. The "_PUB_" naming convention identifies it as a public wrapper API, meaning it is intended to be called from outside the AMS schema and exposes a supported, controlled interface over the underlying event offer business logic. Its status is VALID in the APPS schema and it is classified as an "OTHER" API type.

The package provides the programmatic entry point for creating, updating, and validating event offers. An event offer in AMS represents a promotional offering associated with an event or campaign, allowing marketing users to define and manage what is being offered to target audiences. By centralizing this logic in a public wrapper, the package ensures that validation rules and data integrity constraints are applied consistently regardless of whether the offer originates from a form, a concurrent program, or custom integration code.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM 12.2.2 metadata documents three procedures exposed by this package:

• CREATE_EVENTOFFER — Creates a new event offer record, applying the standard validation and defaulting logic required by the AMS data model before persisting the offer.
• UPDATE_EVENTOFFER — Modifies an existing event offer, ensuring changes are validated and consistent with the same business rules enforced at creation.
• VALIDATE_EVENTOFFER — Performs validation checks against a candidate event offer without necessarily committing changes, allowing callers to confirm data correctness before an insert or update is performed.

These three procedures form the core write and verification operations for event offers. Parameter lists are not enumerated in the documentation and should be confirmed against the live package specification in the target environment.

Tables Accessed

The documented dependency metadata references standard PL/SQL infrastructure objects, notably FND_API and the SYS STANDARD package. FND_API is the Oracle Application Object Library (AOL) API utility package that supplies the standard fnd_api.g_* constants — such as g_miss_* for missing values, g_ret_sts_success for success status, and the g_exc_* exception/error handling conventions. Its presence confirms that AMS_EVENTOFFER_PUB_W follows the standard EBS API error-handling and messaging framework, returning success, warning, or error statuses through the conventional message stack rather than raw exceptions.

The package operates on the underlying AMS event offer entity tables. The ETRM extract for this object does not list the specific AMS tables referenced via APPS synonyms; those should be verified directly against the package body. DML through the package ultimately targets the AMS event offer base tables, with FND_API providing the framework-level services noted above.

Usage Notes

As a public wrapper API, this package is typically invoked in the following contexts:

• AM/AMS Forms — the marketing event offer maintenance form calls the package to persist user-entered offer data, relying on the wrapper to enforce validation.
• Concurrent programs and bulk processes — batch loads or offer generation processes use CREATE_EVENTOFFER to insert records programmatically.
• Custom integration code — external systems and custom extensions that need to create, change, or validate event offers should call this public API rather than performing direct DML on AMS tables, preserving data integrity and supported upgrade paths.

Standard practice when calling the package is to supply the FND_API missing-value constants for optional parameters, invoke in a controlled commit cycle, and inspect the returned API status/message stack for warnings or errors. The documentation indicates referenced-by count of zero, meaning no other documented packages depend on it — it is an endpoint API rather than a shared utility. For exact parameter signatures, error codes, and the specific AMS tables touched, consult the deployed package specification and body in the target EBS instance.
